Editorial Reviews
Ronald Beiner, author of What's the Matter with Liberalism?
"Bernard Yack is a superb reader and interpreter of Aristotle. Political philosophers and students of political thought cannot but welcome Yack's fine work, for it is sure to give all of us fresh reasons to turn back to Aristotle, once again, for enlightenment." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
A bold new interpretation of Aristotelian thought is central to Bernard Yack's provocative new book. He shows that for Aristotle, community is a conflict-ridden fact of everyday life, as well as an ideal of social harmony and integration. From political justice and the rule of law to class struggle and moral conflict, Yack maintains that Aristotle intended to explain the conditions of everyday political life, not just, as most commentators assume, to represent the hypothetical achievements of an idealistic "best regime."
By showing how Aristotelian ideas can provide new insight into our own political life, Yack makes a valuable contribution to contemporary discourse and debate. His work will excite interest among a wide range of social, moral, and political theorists.
